Tverskaya Boulevard

This is the first boulevard in the capital - once it was even called simply
Boulevard, there was no need for a specific name.
The name Tverskaya appeared at the end of the XVIII century.

When designing this street, green spaces were provided - at first birch trees were planted, but they quickly withered away, and they were replaced by lime alleys. Nobles who built their mansions nearby liked to walk among the young lime trees.

In 1812, French troops were stationed on the boulevard, who cut down all the lime trees for fuel before they could be destroyed by fire.

Khokhlovka Art Quarter

Khokhlovka is hidden in courtyards and it is almost impossible to get here by accident. Therefore, to begin with, let's explain how to get here. First you need to get to
the Kitay-Gorod metro station, and then take a course to Zabelin Street and Solyanka.
